Canadian Music Hall of Fame gets permanent home in Calgary

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and the National Music Centre announced Tuesday their push to give the Canadian Music Hall of Fame a permanent home in Calgary, and in co-locations across the country.

“Together with the National Music Centre, we will work toward creating bricks-and-mortar locations to gather and exhibit important memorabilia that tell the stories of inductees and our collective musical heritage,” said Melanie Berry, president and CEO of CARAS, in a news release.

The National Music Centre, set to open in Calgary in 2014, will “ensure our rich and colourful stories are preserved and shared for future generations,” added NMC president and CEO Andrew Mosker.
